RS Vimal’s romance does not belong to this category.Ennu Ninte Moideen (English: Yours Truly, Moideen) is a 2015 Indian Malayalam-language biographical romantic drama film written and directed by R. Some films fail miserably, but eventually pass the test of time and go on to become cult classics. At times when the costs of production skyrocket way beyond control, studio bosses have nightmares of turning into paupers overnight. Perfectionism is nice when it is accompanied by discipline and when the final, exhibited work of the artist has substance and lacks in nothing. It rains in the soundtrack when the lovers meet alone. The lovers run and dance around the trees in the pouring rain. Water is used as a motif throughout albeit, inconsistently. In the next room, a table lies fallen along with the girl.
His fingers tremble terribly for a long time as he slowly pulls his ring out. The girl’s father turns furious when he receives embarrassing news. The warm tones, wide range of images, and Hollywood style of lighting give dimension to the characters and setting. The Kozhikode of half a century ago seems like a dreamland. Since their characters hail from affluent families, they both flaunt a variety of fountain pens. Parvathy walks about in a salwar kameez at the start whether such a fashion existed then is questionable. The film is set in the sixties, so Prithviraj wears straight long hair that parts at the right side and covers his ears, and shirts with flowery, printed designs.

While that sort of thing is fine for the first phase, love that lasts for eternity necessarily requires a certain amount of depth. It’s improbable that Moideen ( Prithviraj Sukumaran ) and Kanchanamala ( Parvathy) were just lovey-dovey puppies (who simply stared into each other’s eyes foolishly) as the film makes them out to be. The real-life pair obviously knew each other inside out. The obstacle: one’s a Muslim, and the other’s a Hindu. Ennu Ninte Moideen (Yours, Moideen), reportedly, ran up an astronomical bill due in a large part to an excessive number of retakes. Especially in filmmaking, an art form in which time is money and paying attention to a wide range of details is a requisite. Perfectionism can be quite a nice trait to possess except that it runs the danger of being a little expensive.
